Nextdoor

If you like censoring moderate or conservatives this is the place for you.

Opinions must be from the Leftist, Progressive, Socialist point of view, otherwise your posts and replies will be deleted without explanation.

Posting or replying moderate or conservative facts or thoughts has gotten me suspended several times four days each time, one time I was suspended for a week, and one other time I was suspended for a month. Posting or replying with facts that go against the Democratic Socialist point of view is a No No.

Others (not me yet) have been kicked off the site and their posts and replies have been scrubbed / deleted as if they never ever existed.

I believe this site and undisclosed administrators make up their own community guidelines. It's very subjective. They will remove and disable your account purely due to stating facts about vandalism. If you try to voice your opinion about the site or your frustration with administration, forget it. Terrible site overall in regards to ease of use. One of their posting categories is about safety, but when you post details about safety they'll remove the post and disable your account.

Important information that does not conform to their world view makes lie out the site's approach that its for your neighborhood. How can it be your neighborhood if people in Nextdoor who don't even live in your neighbor decide what can and cannot be seen.

I found the site useful for a few things like yard sale notifications, neighborhood clean up projects and critter sightings. But there are so many people writing nasty public comments, adding pointless notes about lost dogs, indulging in "thread creep" and perhaps most troubling: alarming neighbors about "suspicious people" riding bicycles that it started to feel like a spy site. Disclosure: I was deleted after apparently failing to recruit another person... who happened to be myself with a separate email address.

Please think twice before initiating Nextdoor for your community or joining your community page. I have witnessed over the last 6 months our community being torn apart. It inspires rude, curt, harsh, insulting, hostile and defamatory statements to be made. You see a side of your neighbors you gave never seen before. Fights are started and long time friendships ruined. Leads have an enormous amount of power and use it to support their own agendas. They will allow horrid conversations to continue if it supports how they feel on an issue and stop and/or delete those conversation that don't support their views while allowing controversy to grow. Nextdoor is very one sided in supporting Lead's action and disregard the multitude of complaints they receive from neighbors. Much of the damage is unable to be recovered from.

The app and website seem like a good idea at first. Then you get to know your neighbors. NextDoor has its share of garage sale items, and swim team meet details, but there's an ugly side. Every person "who looks out of place" walking on the sidewalk gets called out on the app. God help you if you're black and knocking on doors in our neighborhood.

The app sends "push notifications" for urgent alerts tagged as "Crime & Safety". This means that every bored, stupid Desperate Housewife who gins up a fantasy of danger now has the ability to push her stupid blather straight to your cell phone.

Case in point: This Tuesday, after a Memorial Day party at the clubhouse. The remnants of a water balloon fight were spotted by an especially stupid, fearful neighbor who posted about our "SCARY" "black tar heroine[sic]" problem.

If you think you hate your neighbors, but want to be totally sure about it, get this app or visit the website. You will never doubt how much you hate them again.

This app was supposed to be able to connect neighbors within a city/town with helpful information as in restaurants, appliance repair, etc. It is nothing more than a terrible platform similar to Facebook. Full of bullies,and hate filled messages. No way to obtain assistance from "Leads" or area supervisors. Not worth the effort.

Criteria for Leads (area leaders) is insufficient. The supervision or management between the Leads and the corporate office does not exist. Try to establish protection plans for neighborhood safety and you will be stepped on and your message deleted. Nextdoor is only for small talk from simple minded people where bad people feel safe in attacking clever ideas. The number of emails you get per day is overwhelming. Out of about 100 emails you might get 2 or 3 messages of value. If you see a black cat walking down the street, this is the place to report it and discuss it. Nextdoor is a for-profit company that profits from advertising. They simply threw a program out there and let it regulate itself at ground level. If you are smart enough to read then you can find better places to communicate with your neighbors. Look for Meetup.com groups.

I used to love nextdoor, but now all people want to argue about is politics. You have one side making the most heinous claims, yet rarely do their accounts face suspensions or bans. However, anything considered to be 'conservative' is muted in a blink of an eye.
